"The road ahead will be long. Our climb will be steep," Obama cautioned. Young and charismatic but with little experience on the national level, Obama smashed through racial barriers and easily defeated ...

<quoted text>That's exactly what I was thinking, or something very close. He ignores the opposition who represent half the country his entire presidency, then does what any president would have done in a natural disaster, a Republican governor thanks him for it and the liberals are completely beside themselves saying peace on earth good will towards men.Odd.

The self-serving biasIt is well known that people tend to accept credit for success and deny responsibility for failure. More generally, we also tend to attribute our success to internal factors such as ability, but attribute failure to external factors such as bad luck or task difficulty.This is known as the self-serving bias.

<quoted text>This must mean we're still on speaking terms.So how are you doing Tenzing? Really. Do you still live where your animals were or have you moved?I hope you're doing okay and getting on with your life again. I really do.

<quoted text>I'm not responsible for what anyone else says on here. Your "friends" should be proof of that. Unless, of course, you agree with everything they have said.I also don't know who he's referring to or the context of the reply or even what he's talking about.

This does not even deserve comment so for the record I am withholding comment.

<quoted text>I'm actually looking first to states having the power to manage their own affairs instead of the federal government micromanaging every aspect of our lives.Which is a big reason why I'm voting for Romney.Don't know about those on the left. They like big government just the way it is.Glad at least you don't. But you just vote for people who will never be elected and complain about the ones who are.

Voters will be getting their last glimpse of the crucial monthly jobs data from the federal government on Friday, three days before heading to the polls to choose who will occupy the White House for the next four years.

This so-called headline jobless rate, cited most frequently despite its limitations, is expected to edge up to 7.9 percent in October, after it dropped to 7.8 percent in September from 8.1 percent in August.

"The U.S. economy remains locked on an anemic growth path into the elections and fiscal cliff,” said Benjamin Engen, a market economist for Action Economics.

That could add fuel to Romney's assertions that Obama’s policies have held back hiring during one of the slowest economic recoveries in a half century.

The pace of growth hasn’t been strong enough to spark enough hiring to bring the jobless rate down to levels normally seen four years after the end of a recession.

The sluggish pace of hiring has also been blamed on increasing uncertainty by business managers about the state of the economy next year if the next Congress and White House proceed with a large package of tax increases and spending cuts. The so-called “fiscal cliff” was intended to force Congress to commit to reining in budget deficits. But most economists warn that, unless modified or postponed, the measure will almost certainly tip the economy back into recession next year.

...NBC News, mind you, reporting that unless Congress commits to reining in budget deficits, it "will almost certainly tip the economy back into recession next year."
